The laundry and printing quotas at Dickinson College are two policies which combine financial and environmental sustainability. Both quotas were implemented at the same time, but the discussions which culminated in these decisions are different. Therefore, it is important to provide their concise history in order to better understand the current policies, as well as re-evaluate them in order to make them effective and efficient. Such policies call for an appropriate amount of education about the decision and its implications to be available to students. The laundry quota was put in place for the fall 2009 semester.
